    Clint Bowyer entered a NASCAR Trucks race for the first time in over three years and charged to a win.

    Todd Bodine earned a much bigger prize by hanging back: his second career season title.

    Bodine finished 12th behind Bowyer at Phoenix International Speedway Friday night, wrapping up the title with one race left to become the third Trucks driver to win multiple championships.

    "It feels like it was forever. It's hard to believe it was only four years ago," Bodine said of his previous championship. "A lot of hard racing and a lot of hard work in between to get here."

    Bodine has been consistent all season, winning four races and finishing in the top 5 another 12 times to build a 230-point lead over Aric Almirola. All the third-generation driver needed to do at Phoenix was avoid catastrophe and he'd have a matching title to the one he earned in 2006.
